Sex and Sexuality
Planned Parenthood uses the acronym FRIES to explain consent in an easy, understandable way. They define consent as:
Freely given: Doing something sexual with someone is a decision that should be made without pressure, force, manipulation, or while drunk or high.
Reversible: Anyone can change their mind about what they want to do at any time. Even if you’ve done it before or are in the middle of having sex, you can still change your mind.
Informed: Be honest. For example, if someone says they’ll use a condom and then they don’t, that’s not consent.
Enthusiastic: If someone isn’t excited or really into it, that’s not consent. Silence or passivity is not consent. Yes means yes and everything else means no.
Specific: Saying yes to one thing (like going to the bedroom to make out) doesn’t mean a person is saying yes to another thing (like oral sex).
